Tourist contract

[Hcube]

hey, i was just proposed a contract with one tourist that wants both a suborbital flight and an orbital flight. Is this :

1) a bug and iwont be able to complete it ?

2)normal, and i just have to orbit (first suborbital, then circularize) to get twice as much money ?

I didnt accept it yet cause im not sure. Anyone knows ?

Thanks

I haven't done it myself, but someone mentioned that you can do these missions in parts. For example, if you have two tourists who each want a sub-orbital, you can do them one at a time.

So, presumably, same thing here. Two flights to finish this one. I don't think you can do it at once because I'm pretty sure that you need to recover to complete each phase as bringing them back alive is important.

I think you could do it at once. When you are in suborbital flight that part will complete, then once you circularize that part will complete.

I'm gonna try it, hopefully it's only 1 flight. If not, then i'll be tricked because the price that the tourist pays is totally not enough for 2 rocket launches

It's like this, you will notice later on it will start asking for multiple things like:

- sub-orbital around Kerbin

- fly-by of the Mun

- orbit Minmus

- sub-orbital Minmus

They can all be done in 1 flight if you so desire, but you can recover & relaunch if it's convenient for whatever reason.

Also the contract starts to give you multiple tourists (2, 4, 6) with their individual needs (although in my experience always the same bodies).

So some will want a combination of the following: a fly-by, an orbit & a sub-orbital flight. I've yet to see a request for landing on another body, but I doubt there are none available.

Ughh, they're so picky.

you can indeed just orbit if it requries sub-orbital and orbital, since you'll do a suborbital before actually circularizing.
